More than 20,000 people participated in the protests that were held
Friday in Austria’s capital city Vienna, and in connection with
Turkish PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s visit to Austria, but solely 8,000
of the participants were against Erdogan.

A total of 14,000 Erdogan supporters took part in the demonstrations
and the remaining 8,000 protestors were Armenians, Kurds, Assyrians,
and Alawites, an Austrian-Armenian community representative told
Armenian News-NEWS.am.

“The Armenian National Committee in Austria delivered speeches. There
was also a melee during the demonstrations, but, fortunately, no one
was affected,” the representative said adding that the Armenians were
not involved in the clashes.
